1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

Clinical evidence regarding eribulin treatment for patients with soft tissue sarcoma (STS) is limited to those with L-sarcoma (leiomyosarcoma and liposarcoma) who have completed at least two chemotherapies. Whether histological subtypes and treatment lines affect the efficacy and safety of eribulin for patients with STS has yet to be elucidated. The current study retrospectively reviewed patients with STS receiving eribulin at the Cancer Institute Hospital of JFCR and evaluated the prognostic factors affecting its efficacy and safety by histological diagnoses and treatment lines. A total of 41 patients with STS, including 26 with L-sarcoma, underwent eribulin treatment. Additionally, a total of and 14 patients, including 12 with L-sarcoma, received eribulin as a second-line treatment. The results revealed that patients with L-sarcoma demonstrated longer progression-free survival (PFS) rates compared with patients without L-sarcoma (4.5 vs. 2.3 months; P=0.005). Furthermore, differences in treatment line significantly affected PFS (4.5 months in second-line treatment vs. 2.4 months in later lines; P=0.037). A high number of patients with L-sarcoma received eribulin as a second-line treatment. Regarding safety, several adverse events were reported, such as neutropenia, which were more frequently observed in patients with L-sarcoma or other patients receiving eribulin as a second-line treatment. However, most adverse events were tolerable. The clinical efficacy of eribulin was increased in patients with L-sarcoma, which was similar to previous clinical trials. However, treatment lines could also affect its efficacy. When evaluating the clinical value of eribulin to STS, it is important to consider treatment lines.
